Loss Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Last few minutes. Kind of a weird match as Sting is a WCW babyface teaming with an NWO heel against two NWO tweeners. Giant is put in the position to work the crowd from the apron fresh off of a heel turn. So then he makes the hot tag and Nash goes from being the heel to being the babyface. Giant misses a top rope splash. Something about this card killed this match considering that even that didn't get much of a pop. Nash is about to powerbomb Giant when Dusty Rhodes gets on the apron to distract the ref. Hall turns on Nash and Sting and The Giant win the tag titles. What a mess. Why would they put Hall and Nash on opposite sides for the NWO breakup, other than just to swerve people? What an idiotic twist. Now a WCW guy and an NWO guy are tag team champs. I'd roll my eyes, but WCW booking gets far worse than this in the coming two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 This followed one of the key rules of Russoism: 'It doesn't matter if it makes sense, you just have to surprise people' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sting just stood on the apron looking like, "Why am I involved in this shit?" Good question, man. I empathize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 All you have to do is compare the crowd heat of the opener to this mess. Giant cheering Sting on in the corner made no sense but then neither did Hall turning on Nash. Giant and Sting win the tag titles and the crowd yawns and Sting looks bored. Bad end to the PPV.

PeteF3 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 18 months later and I can answer Loss' question: the Hall turn was yet another political maneuver by Hogan. By splitting up the Outsiders in storyline, he figured he could split them and their power up behind the scenes as well. This is fascinating stuff if you think the backstage shit is more interesting than the actual product. I don't want to be one of those people.

TravJ1979 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 More proof that WCW main event scene is complete garbage at this point. Pointless turn, Weird, earlier turn making the face team ineffective. Crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
